Hello, backers—

Thank you so much for an amazing launch week! With your effort to keep spreading the word, we’ve soared past funding and through half a dozen stretch goals already—and we still have the bulk of the campaign ahead of us to keep unlocking more!

This campaign is soaring, and that only ever happens when backers enthusiastically spread the word. You can find lots of sharable posts and links, as well as great art you can share in your own posts, on MCG’s various social media channels:

Today you took us over the line and unlocked a poster map for Face Your Fears. This will feature the floorplan of Magnus Institute, and be designed by Jonathan Sims, the mind behind The Magnus Archives, himself.

If you already have The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game (or have just scrolled through this crowdfunding campaign page), you know the game has a lot of highly atmospheric art. That will be doubly true as Make Your Statement, Face Your Fears, and Do Not Open come into being.

This artwork fills the books with inspiration and fires your imagination for memorable, exciting horror adventures. But let’s face facts: 90% of the time, the GM is the one flipping through the books. Many players rarely look at the books for the games they’re playing—and even when they do, there are many sections that they shouldn’t peruse. GM’s-eyes-only type stuff.

So what do you do when you want to inspire your players, or show them a cool image that might be relevant to your campaign?

With this stretch goal we’ll take a bunch of the art from The Magnus Archives Roleplaying Game corebook, Make Your Statement, Face Your Fears, and Do Not Open to create a big bundle of digital images you can easily show or share with your players. Whether showing them an interesting artefact they’ve stumbled upon, illustrating a key NPC, or simply giving them a bit of inspiration with a cool scene from the book, you’ll have dozens of images to share.

And that’s not all: We’ll take some of the best large scenes and deliver them as wallpapers in a variety of common resolutions for your computer or device.

We’ll unlock this suite of image files when we get to 3550 backers.

Every time you unlock a stretch goal, we also give each backer a bonus: a free vinyl sticker! So far we’ve unlocked six goals, so every backer gets six stickers.

We need your help on this next one. Here are two designs we’re considering. Which would you prefer?

We’re launching a poll in the campaign’s Comments tab. Hop on over there and vote for your favorite. The winner will be added to every backer’s rewards when we unlock this stretch goal.

Thanks for your support!
